Gringa Movie Still 1 of 3

Marge Bickford (Jess Gabor) navigates the halls of her high school and the chalked lines of its soccer field with the same sense of failure and dread. Life is passing her by and she doesn’t seem to mind… Marge runs away to find her estranged father, a faded ex-soccer star hiding out and coaching a rag tag women’s football team in rural Mexico. When he is not surfing, he drinks too much. He means no harm, but seems ill-equipped to handle the responsibilities of normal adulthood. In fact, he is probably far less mature than his unhappy daughter. The film becomes a funny and heart-warming journey as the two learn that a family can be put back together, even if all you have are the missing pieces.
